Thanks Dave for these explanations. I was naive enough to simply  
follow the instructions shipped with XEP. They told me to put a config  
file into the current working directory and add the fonts as you  
describe above. I'm not sure if they mentioned the "embed" attribute  
though. In any case, the config file didn't make any difference. I'll  
try modifying the config file in the install directory as you suggest.

Do you have any suggestions for fixing the graphics file problem? XEP  
can't handle roughly half of my graphics files. I'd have to check the  
logs again in order to find out which types are affected.

regards,
Markus
